How We Calculate Your ROI
This calculator models the complete direct mail funnel: List Size → Responses → Appointments → Closed Deals. Each stage applies a conversion rate to the previous step, giving you a realistic deal pipeline from a single mail drop.
Cost model: Total campaign cost = list size × cost per piece. This covers printing, postage, and list acquisition. We exclude overhead like CRM fees or staff time — add those to your cost per piece if you want a fully loaded estimate.
ROI formula: (Total Revenue − Total Cost) ÷ Total Cost × 100. Revenue = closed deals × average profit per deal. The default benchmarks reflect median performance across our client base; toggle “Industry Benchmarks” to see how your inputs compare. Industry benchmark figures include full marketing overhead (labor, CRM, postage). Your calculator result reflects marketing spend only — add labor costs to your cost-per-piece for a fully loaded view.
Tips to Improve Your ROI
Improve List Quality
Focus on motivated seller indicators like pre-foreclosure, tax delinquency, and high equity.
Follow Up Consistently
Plan for 5-7 mail drops to the same list over 6-12 months for best results.
Track Everything
Use call tracking numbers and CRM systems to measure and optimize campaigns.
What If Your Mailers Only Went to Motivated Sellers?
Most direct mail campaigns blast 5,000 pieces and hope for 25 responses. Our system narrows your list to the property owners most likely to sell — so the same budget reaches higher-intent sellers.
